How many uses do you get from a single CO2 cartridge? (Is it one cartridge per charge/use?)

Yes, One use. I use the Leland CO2 cartridges as they are the cheapest I found (under 40 Cents per cartridge when purchasing a lot of 100). It uses a standard 8 gr CO2 cartridge.

One charge per use. The instruction manual says you can use two cartridges to make a bottle extra fizzy, but I haven't needed to do that- plenty of carbonation with one cartridge. If you buy them in boxes of 20 or more, they only cost about 50 cents each...

If you buy them from mastrad, you only get one use from 1 CO2 cartridge. Once you put the cartridge in and release the CO2 it's done for and you have to throw it away. The only place I could find the 8 gram was on mastrad.com. Do not use the 15g ones, they will ruin your soda maker.

One CO2 cartridge will last between 3-4 reloads so around 90-120 shots. That is on the full power setting.

After doing some research I discovered that CO2 in a sealed container only produces 60.4 Pounds per Square Inch (PSI) at 69.9 degrees F. At 70 degrees F it produces 852.8 PSI. This information was provided by Pyramyd Air Guns. I warmed my CO2 cartridges before inserting them in the Steel Force. The gun worked perfect. I will try it again tomorrow.

It seems that after one session of 50 or 60 shots you need to change the CO2 cartridges. They seem to leak if keep them in the gun overnight! Great gun very accurate and it's very quiet.

It all depends of course on how much co2 you despense. I usually only get around 3 weeks at maximum. That's the biggest drawback to this system - it is expensize over the long haul. If you have a bigger tank I would recommend the paintball canister system. More of a hassle since you have to refill the cartridge but cheaper over time

One cylinder per bottle. Bottle of soda will last at least a week. I bought a box of 100 co2 cylinders and shared them with my kids. The cost was around $50. Look around for good deal! I love this because you can store it away and not take up a lot of room.

Don't know. Got this for my husband. He carbonates just enough for one sitting at a time.... we reuse a 20 fl. oz. "disposable" soda bottle. The cartridge lasts for multiple bottles over a week or two, but not sure exactly how many he's filling. I'm sure in the Fizz Gig, one CO2 cartridge would carbonate as much as one CO2 cartridge in another brand soda maker. My husband loves it. He even carbonates orange and cranberry juice. Doesn't work as well on juice with pulp. It takes a little practice to get it right, or it won't seem to add much carbonation. Recommend watching the video on the maker's site. Don't know.

Co2 cartridges are pretty general. That I sm aware of they don't make them in different sizes but these are 12 grams they fit my pistol just fine

I've only used my machine a few times and still have 2 replacements left, so I'm not sure if you can use other cartridges to carbonate. I wouldn't.

The cartridges are single use only. Once punctured, they can not be used again

I had to buy my own CO2. It uses 2 of the small containers at a time. Works pretty good, at high rates of fire.

It takes non treaded cartridges. Two at a time. It made for great power and quite a few shots before having to replace the cartridges however, after using up about 2 dozen cartridges the seal began to weaken allowing leakage of the CO2. Initially this was slow but now I can't get more than 1 shot before the cartridges are empty. Not sure if this is a design flaw or not. There is no need for batteries

I've fired up to 3 clips worth of bb's. That's 19 per clip about 57 bb's on one co2 it may fire less or it may fire more, it all depends on how well you take care of your bb gun.

I would suggest writing to the manufacturer. Depending on when you bought it they may replace it.One common problem is that people don't tighten the set-screw enough when they install the CO2 cartridge.

The cartridge does not make beverage. it depends what you're using it for and how much you're going to be pumping the "beverage" out. have used it to carbonate up to 3 gallons. to pump it out of a tap. you'll need more

It only carbonates one 16 oz bottle. They are small co2 cartridges and when they discharge they are useless. You can buy them super cheap at army surplus stores or outdoor activity stores. They are the same cartridges used in paintball guns and BB guns.

Hi Terrecial,One cartridge will make one container of soda. You have to use a different cartridge each time you make soda. I hope this has answered your question. Feel free to ask any more questions regarding the cartridges.
